alright, so... as expected, traction was a major issue. i managed to get three runs in though, i ran ~15psi the whole night. here are the times, with explanations below:
r/t: .707 (my first run ever... gimme a break)
60': 3.011 (wheel hopping like a mo-fo in 1st gear)
330: 8.713 (couldnt get it in 2nd gear, so i just put it in 3rd and lugged it)
1/8: 12.192
mph: 75.63 (finally picking up a bit....)
1000: 14.870
1/4: 17.049 (most bad-ass time ever)
mph: 104.03 (this suprised everyone i showed the slip to... who runs a 17 over 100mph!?!)
this was VS. a ~2000 cadillac... he ran a 16.6 @ 83... shoulda smoked his ass
r/t: .393 (a little better)
60': 2.609 (bad, but not terrible. shifted to 2nd really quick to avoid wheelspin)
330: 6.731
1/8: 9.705
mph: 83.43
1000: 12.216
1/4: 14.315 (this was my best time of the night, and the best time of everyone i knew who was there )
mph: 107.47 (to me this suggests i should be running well into the 13's if i can learn to launch my car properly....)
this was vs. a big V8 pickup truck. he had me till shortly before the 1/8, and then i smoked him... he ran a 15.3
r/t: .634 (****ty)
60': 2.292 (thats more what i'm looking for )
330: 6.611 (missed 2nd gear once, then managed to stuff it in)
1/8: 9.688
mph: 81.16
1000: 12.240
1/4: 14.375
mph: 105.15 (i tried shifting to 5th this time, because the last run i was just about at 7k in 4th... and the motors VE drops like a stone after ~6k rpm. obviously shifting to 5th was a bad idea... so i think i just need some taller tires.)
this was vs. a v8 swapped s10 with slicks. he pwned me from start to finish, he ran a 13.49
i cant wait to go back... i gotta get there earlier next time so i can make some more runs. Pox took some pictures and videos, so hopefully he'll have them up tomorrow .
cliff notes: best time was a 14.315 @ 107.47, worst time was a 17.049 @ 104.03 (lol)
